ya gotta be smart - thoughtful without spending a bunch of $$ - not really a "holiday" at all - more like Mothers day for your honey..

You do the math and say, "How much do I have to spend on her so she won't be mad???" :mad:

no no, usually i rack my brain trying to find a superficial gift. This year, i decided I'm replicating our first date and first Valentine's day all in one. It took me a while, but i found a DVD of the first movie we went too , I've ordered the same special bouquet of flowers from the same flower shop(in the city we used to live in, so I have to go pick them up yet after work), I've got the same dinner lined out, just for 4 instead of 2(no one can watch kiddos tonight for obvious reasons), I even dug through her keepsake box and found the first present I gave her for our first Valentine's day. I even custom ordered a replica of the first card I gave her.

So despite her telling me she wanted no gifts this year, she's getting this.
 
I realize it's just an excuse and really is just corporate America skimming more $$ outta your back pocket - but F-it, it's too easy to take your partner for granted and we all get a little grumpy this time of the year.. I enjoy the excuse to put a little more than the usual thought into it..
